The fact that every cell contains the gene change makes it possible to use cheek cells or a blood sample for gene testing.

When a gene contains a mutation, the protein encoded by that gene is likely to be abnormal.

Although mistakes occur in DNA all the time, especially during cell division, a cell has the remarkable ability to fix them. But if DNA repair mechanisms fail, mutations can be passed along to future copies of the altered cell.

(3) Conditional mutations
gives a mutant phenotype under restrictive conditions (environmental) and causes a wild type phenotype under permissive conditions.

(6) Gain-of-function mutation (gof) result in altered gene function that act
as a dominant allele and produces a novel phenotype.

1.Genes can be mutated in many ways
The most common gene change involves a single base mismatch--a misspelling--placing the wrong base in the DNA. At other times, a single base may be dropped or added. And sometimes large pieces of DNA are mistakenly repeated or deleted.
Gene mutations can be either inherited from a parent or acquired.

Hereditary mutations are carried in the DNA of the reproductive cells. When reproductive cells containing mutations combine to produce offspring, the mutation will be in all of the offspring's body cells.
recessive although some haploinsufficient dominant "lof" mutations exist.

A common lof mutation is the partial loss-of-function or "leaky" mutation.
